Physicists are required by law to have at least one mis-spelling in their slide sets.

In the old days before Powerpoint, the biologists were required to have computer-generated fancy slides, the chemists had computer generated slides but they had to look like they were printed the by the crappy graphical interface on the computer that controlled the instrument - no fancy re-working of the graphs - and the physicists still had hand-drawn acetate overheads*. :D

*Seriously. Back in 1997, when I had already switched over to Powerpoint graphics like the biologists, I went to a series of lectures by Physics Nobel winner Pierre de Gennes and every one of his slides was hand-written / drawn in green pen on overhead acetates.

About Me

I am a Hot Chick living in Castle Rock, CO with my fabulous family. We have a rescue dog named "Jackson," and she's a Basenji/Shepherd mix. She's something of a head case, but we love her. I'm a U.S. Navy vet, and I currently work as an Enterprise Solutions Architect, specializing in VoIP and multimedia contact center design. I'm a Trustee for my local library, because LIBRARIES. I care about science, the U.S. Constitution and the military. I'm a tax and spend liberal in a largely red county, but I try not to be stabby about it. I like to color, I aspire to run faster than I do, and I donate knitted cold weather gear to various charities. Stupidity, cupidity and wanton assholery piss me off, and I'm more than a little soft when it comes to dogs and those who serve others. I blog about whatever I feel like. I use foul language, so if that sort of thing offends you, feel free to fuck off now - if I'm unwilling to clean up my language for my fabulous Great Auntie Margie, I'm unlikely to do so for you. Newcomers are welcome here, especially those who disagree with me, but trolling and spamming will be met with the Shovel of Doom™.
